Pioneer DVR-S12J - Yet Another Drive We Won't Get In The US

[Ian]

Pioneer Japan announced the DVR-S12J this morning. Along with a flashy bezel, the drive supports Serial ATA and LabelFlash.

They want $90 for it.. which is kinda pricey. Since we can't get Labelflash media over here, the DVR-212 will meet the needs of most.

I really wish the A series was still being released in the US. My A07 was an awesome drive, only replaced by a 111 (flashed to 111L).

Is Labelflash the only difference from the DVR-212? I really prefer inkjet printables to Lightscribe or Labelflash...

At one point, the A series had more sound deadening but I'm not sure if that's still the case.

The Retail-serie is also not avaible in Germany, sadly

That bezel looks awesome, especially the eject button.
